Had her for A&P 1/2 lectures and labs! Best professor I could ever ask for. Don't expect an easy A.... you will have to work for it but it is completely achievable. Tests and practicals are hard, but as long as you study you will do fine! I wish she taught more classes because I genuinely love her as a professor and as a person. Take her!!!

DO NOT DO NOT TAKE HER! Based on the reviews I thought she was a good professor, she seems nice but when you ask for help she seems in a bad mood and expects you to know it, I get that anatomy 2 is hard but she barely help. I always felt intimidated asking for help.

I took her remotely. She would do the best she could with teaching us remotely but if you asked a question she seemed annoyed and when you stayed behind to ask it wasn't very clear. I would use the resources she gives you for understanding the material and I used other videos and felt good about it. When I entered the exam the wording was confusing

Overall she is very hard to understand. She has an enormous ego that she will not get bruised. There is no room for extra credit whatsoever, and she is extremely cold and unaccommodating. I was 2 points away from a B and I attended every lecture and never submitted anything late. Nonetheless, she wouldn't give it to me. Not impressed at all.

Such a great professor for A&P1! She makes her own powerpoints with only the stuff you need to know and provides a bunch of supplemental material on Canvas. Her tests are very doable as long as you study and she usually scales them up by a few points. Definitely recommend taking for lecture and lab because they go hand in hand when she is teaching.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this teacher. She does not teach and just reads off the power points. I did good in AP 1 and my grade is suffered in AP 2, as she is not reasonable or cares.

Favorite professor ever. She makes her powerpoints with only relevant information, makes everything easy to understand, and connects it to lab. Anyone who doesn't like her probably didn't study, because if you study, the tests are straightforward. I wish she could teach all of my courses because she makes everything so simple and interesting.

She taught at a very basic level. It is straightforward, simple, and not complicated at all if you know the slides; you know the test (4 m.choice tests). However, I find her a bit unapproachable, and she has a large ego, as mentioned in various reviews. If you're looking for a more warm and friendly professor, I don't suggest her.

Pericone was a great professor. The class can be challenging as it is a lot to know but she has great lectures. Tests ranged from 50 to 80 questions but they are all multiple choice or true/false. She truly wants her students to succeed and does her best for everyone to remember the material.

It's not the first class I have taken with her, and I'm upset that I don't need to take any other classes she teaches because she just clearly explains very complicated topics. Her jokes are a little corny but in a funny way where she's laughing with the students. Overall my favorite professor at OCC.

For each lab done, Pericone would have a worksheet to go with it that takes less than 5 minutes to complete which is due the following week. She provides powerpoints that help you review for the exams (2) and gives you a study guide of the exam topics. The labs are fun and I highly recommend this professor if you need to take a bio lab.

Pericone is amazing. She's one of my favorite professors and she really knows what she's talking about! Her lectures are funny and helpful. The class itself is difficult, but Pericone adds lots of simple homework assignments to help her students out. As long as you study the PowerPoints you will pass the exams and the class!

Her lectures are very informational and interesting but the tests were very confusing. The tests are made for someone who has been studying Anatomy for years, not for people taking Anatomy for the first time. The questions are made to be tricky. Otherwise she is very friendly and loves teaching.

I had Professor Pericone for A&P 1 and 2. She has strong boundaries and she holds her students accountable, which is very admirable. She is very intricate with lectures, she also has a review day before exams. Very lecture heavy, as long as you pay attention and put in the effort, you will succeed in her courses. I highly recommend her courses!

A+P will always be a difficult class to take; however, she broke down tough topics and helped you understand everything. She really cares about her students and wants them to do well. Study throughout the week and take the practice quizzes before taking the exam. I rewrote all the lecture notes either in class or after class which helped.

Mrs. Pericone is probably the most engaging teacher I have ever taken. I was always excited for her lecture, even in an 8 am class. I took both AP 1 & 2 with her and learned and retained the information. Her tests can be challenging, but if you study her PowerPoints and do practice quizzes you are more than capable of doing well in her class.

First of all, this class was HARD. You have to truly be committed to studying, making flash cards, and constantly reviewing the material. She has her own PowerPoint files which are the basis for her Exams (4 of them @ 60% weight). Sometimes her exam questions can be worded in order to trick you, so beware of that. Very passionate & personable 10/10

Took this class online and it was honestly great. Professor Pericone provided extra materials that really helped with the modules, and the labs were super clear and easy to follow. The tests could be tough, but that's just Anatomy, you've got to really know your stuff. Overall, an amazing professor who clearly wants students to succeed.

There are 4 tests, worth 60% of ur grade, and 4 hw's that are 15%. Does NOT allow any late work or extra credit. I submitted a hw before it was due and forgot my resources and she graded quickly and took off 20points, I asked to add my sources still before the time it was due, and she said no. You will do bad if you get a low grade on 1 assignment.

This was my 3rd time taking the class, I truly believe that if I had taken Professor Pericone the first time, I would have passed the class. She breaks things down in her lectures, and minimizes unnecessary materials. Exams are difficult but that's a given, It is a difficult class in itself, but Professor Pericone lightens the weight!

I overall wish I could have her for every class. I took her for A&P1 for a second time then pass with a B and then knew I had to take her for A&P2 and I don't regret it one bit. She was very accommodating and wanted her students to succeed. I ended with a C but that was because I did not study hard enough for the tests which was my own fault.
